Or ‘Early Promise Unfulfilled’ So picture the scene. Me, with the seat of the huge estate car necessarily pushed right back, struggling to reach the pedals, hurtling down the A1 at speeds that would have made my eyes water were they not already doing so, actually hoping to see the police in my rear view […]
Amazement that we’d done it, combined with heat and hugeness meant that I, at any rate, did very little to help in those early days. It became a bit of a game to those I used to think loved me to see just how long it would take me to get up the front stairs, […]

Just wanted to say what a great first for Grantham; everyone coming together, under one roof at Arena UK (on the other side of the A1 from Downtown)
Businesses ranged from retail (including the aforementioned Oldrids/Downtown) to B2Bs and local charities.

My last point being, and it was undoubtedly the first reason why social media was used, is that, even as a business, you should have fun 🙂
